Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890)

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch artist who changed modern art forever with his expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors. His work, initially dark and realistic, developed in Paris and southern France into an explosion of color and emotion. Van Gogh found inspiration in everyday life, the landscape, and nature, which he transformed into powerful, personal images. Despite his struggles with mental health, he remained intensely devoted to his art. In just ten years, he produced more than 800 paintings, including iconic works such as The Starry Night and Sunflowers. His search for beauty and meaning makes his work universally recognizable to this day. Today, Van Gogh is considered a symbol of passion, innovation, and artistic freedom.
